The Galatasaray and AC Milan midfielders had fallen out of favor with Oranje in recent times, with Sneijder only called upon as a replacement for the injured Georginio Wijnaldum and De Jong returning after almost a year in international exile.

Also returning to the setup is Paris Saint-Germain fullback Gregory van der Wiel, who has not represented his country since the friendly with Belgium in Aug. 2012.

Despite a current groin injury, captain Robin van Persie has also been selected, as well as fellow key players Arjen Robben and Kevin Strootman.
